Definitely a combination of the two I'd say (still was only 11psi). It had some bent/chipped fins so I'm sure it was working alot harder than a new turbo would to achieve the same flow/pressure...more than likely it's downfall.

I was half expecting it to crap out fairly soon...just a good excuse for an upgrade...

What do you want pics of? Bent/chipped fins? Othewise it looks like any other CT-26 out there... I'll be doing some fiberglassing for a shop tomorrow so I can pull the car in and take some pics of the fins.

Yes, yes it does... Esp. when you have an upgraded suspension and a rebuilt/worked over engine...w00t
